That's the way they should be, however. Anything else is BKSS, assuming the text is indeed identical. The text of "Vampire Lord" has a major difference from that of "Elemental HERO Darkbright" that others have pointed out. The rulings are correct and the text agrees with it.

IE he controls your Vampire Lord via E-Con then you use your Relinquish to absorb him you are in control of both relinquish and your own Vampire Lord. But the ruling says that even if MST/Heavy Storm from the opponent will not trigger Vampire Lord's effect in this case. >.<

The ruling probably isn't considering that kind of far-fetched scenario. The way I see it, it's just a precursor to the "Scrap Dragon" ruling.

Vampire Lord:If "Vampire Lord" is destroyed while equipped to "Relinquished", he won't be Special Summoned, no matter who controls him or who destroyed him.

This ruling prevents contradicts the text. If going by the text in the situation where I control and own both Relinquished and the equipped Vampire Lord, I should be able to activate Vampire Lord's effect when he is destroyed my an opponent's MST but this UDE ruling tells me otherwise.

You can. I already explained what the ruling was most likely trying to address.
